You would have to know how it works to set up the situation in which
it works every time. Better to use statistical evaluation and
compare results with "random chance," not "every time."

WHO CARES?
Well, I am not his keeper. But I made the best offer I could. I offer the
same to anybody, theist or non-theist. If Fred Leff was really using
software past the expiration date, I would make the same offer to him,
but I understand from Styx this is not the case..
I'm afraid not.
True. And I give him that. If we only include perfect Christians as
Christians, then nobody comes to Church.
Including me. Maybe ESPECIALLY me.

Principia Discordia
Yes, but it's not nearly as nice as the printed version IMHO.
I have it here in my BBS "TEXT" file area (for download) or for FREQ 23
hours/day. Please note carefully the filename of the zip file (FREQing
PRINCIPIA or PRINCIPIA.ZIP will _not_ work).

I remember an article in NATIONAL LAMPOON called "Is it in?" subtitled,
"101 ways to soft-boil a hard-on." Besides the title, it included, "This
better be good, male chauvenist bastard" "You know, honey, all the books
say it doesn't matter HOW big it is, it's what you do with it.." "...and
then I took on the football team, one after another, in the bleachers
after the game...""That tickles!" and "Are you SURE it's in?" <g>

Re: flood
If you want to make it REALLY interesting, since that's the cold circle,
the lake of ice, howabout changing the rules and sending all the
nymphomaniacs there too? THEY'D keep me warm...
Oh.
HI, Barb! Oh, just that dull Holy Smoke echo, nothing that would
interest you...
Then shatter my disbelief. Turn water into wine, walk on water, emerge
from my computer, die and come back to life.
Welllll....although that might be true, Christianity, unlike most
religions or mythologies, actually
Principia Discordia
Same Principia sans the nice graphics found in the printed book (FWIW I
have both). The "Cabal of the Unemployed" that you are quoting seems to
just be a short intro by the person who typed the stuff into an ascii file
(which is legal, as the Principia is specifically _NOT_ Copywrited)....
BTW: If you want the ascii version, I have it here for FREQ or download
from my "TEXT" file area (be careful of the filename, it's easy to

I appreciate that, but I THINK I'm okay. The fact that the new BBS got no
messages from Holy Smoke for a day troubles me, though. I may have a BBS
where people can read what I write but that has an irregular feed.
Fine. The place we moved into was laid out just like the old one, so there
was the minimum of confusion for the autistic kids. We eventually have
ended up replacing most of the furniture

Um. I sympathize totally, currently breaking in a new (or rather used)
system myself. Luckily, there is one computer shop in town I trust, and
that is where I bought this, and except for minor nudging, everything
seems to be working fine.

not arguing the theist record is better, just that they are pretty equal,

He might. Whatever the "Semtitc" people are. However, he constantly slams
people who are anti-SEMITIC. Such as yourself. Nor has he EVER shown any
bias against them that I have ever seen.
CHURCHES
Too true. It appears even on the new BBS I missed a day of posts, but I'm
going to pull them off my old BBS and try to respond to them on the new.
Nice to be missed, even though a good portion of Holy Smoke COULD see me.
Yes. I could have easily have been carrying the blackened, charred bodies
of my children, or my wife, instead of the remains of the computer.

Glad you approve <guffawing>. I prefer to call this version 1.00 final

FLOOD
The literal DISCIPLES---the Twelve, James, those five hundred Paul
mentioned, Mary Magdelene...saw a physical event. I'm not talking about
Paul, save insofar as he witnessed what the others told him, or other
followers of Jesus, save that they were in a little better position to
verify the events of Jesus' life than, say, Joan of Arc, who similarly
martyred herself for her belief in Jesus. Their evidence (with the slight
qualifications above) are irrelevant. But the disciples, the apostles,
knew
Re: Hitler

(Applause). To say nothing of the fact that he killed himself. Anyone who
knows Catholic doctrine knows that the surest way of earning a ticket to
hell is to kill oneself...it's an unforgivable sin. Now, if Hitler was a
devout Catholic, if he killed himself, he was voluntarily putting himself
into what he would imagine would be an eternity of torment. So, we can
conclude that whatever he was brought up as, at the time of his death, he

How many grandchildren and great-grandchildren did he have?

Not in a Ganymeadean sense, I trust.
Hi George!
That was YOU??? (Sorry, couldn't resist...<g>)

Good to know I was missed. In a way it was touching. We got TOO many clothes from friends at church,
at work, from e-mail friends, etc., and everyone went out of their way to
help us. It was good to know how much we were loved, though I hated we had
to go through that to find out.
Looking pretty good. "New"(actually used) computer, starting to build up
my book collection, etc.
